🏠 Rent or Buy: What is more profitable in 2026? Expert Taras Kozak revealed the conditions under which renting housing is economically justified: ✅ Mobility: Frequent moves make buying unprofitable due to transaction and renovation costs. ✅ Investments: If the return on capital is higher than the cost of rent, it is better to invest than to buy. ✅ Hidden costs: The owner pays taxes and spends on repairs, which is not the case with renting. 💰 A mortgage is profitable if the payment is lower than rent, but it is safer to spend no more than 30% of income on housing. #realestate #mortgage #rent #finance #XAB
